B was my roommate at MU. He was always full of life with a smile that would light up a room. He had many friends and had a zest for living life to the fullest. Our room was never dull because B was the center of attraction for the "Alley Boys" of the 12th floor or anyone who would stop by. I'm glad we were able to see him about 2 years ago for a brief visit. B was a special friend that I will never forget. I am saddened by his loss and extend my condolences to Cindy, Kim, Amber and the Arango Family

Dear Arango Family, I am saddened to learn of Bobby's passing. I grew up next door to the grandparents on 20th St. and have many fond memories of everyone in this large family. Bobby was always a favorite, and it was nice to see him now and then when I shopped downtown. My deepest sympathy for your loss.

Many a happy hour I spent in Bobby's presence. He was one of the friendliest people I've ever met and I am glad to have known him. My thoughts are with you, Cindy, Kim, and Amber. I wish I could have been there at the service.

I was so sorry to hear about the passing of Bob. I extend my sympathy to the Arango family. Thank you for sharing all the pictures of "B" with his family. I met Bob in 1968 during freshman orientation at Marshall University. We struck up a conversation that resulted in a good friendship and the sharing of many great times. I will always remember his positive outlook, sense of humor, and his hilarious stories. Rest in peace my friend.

Cousin Bobby certainly was the life of every Holiday party. For many many Years Bobby & Cindy Hosted the "Arango' Christmas Party, by far the best party of the year! I will always cherish all of the family memories with cousin Bobbys zest for life, his smile , compliments and of coarse the "best dressed" Arango. My heart goes out to Cindy an, Kim & Amber I love you all!

I am sorry to hear of Bobby's passing. Bobby and I were friends from our days at the Weirton Community Center where B and I would jog around their ballfield or around the city of Weirton itself. There were times I found it almost impossible to run since he had me laughing so much that I think I burned twice as many calories then he did. He will be greatly missed. B had a heart of gold and would help anyone when needed. May he have everlasting peace in God's Heavenly Home.

Dear Cindy, Kim, Amber, and family:
I want to convey and take just a moment. I realize the dichotomy that the family faces at this time, surrounded by a multitude of friends and admirers, who knew and loved "uncle Bobby." In moments like this, it feels like death is wrong; until, we realize that love is stronger than death. Our hearts are heavy, and our tears are flowing down. Our spirits are wounded. I feel that, too. The memories are too many too mention. Ultimately, we find out that the people that we really love, they may leave us outwardly, but they never leave us inwardly.
Love,
Matthew

Our deepest sympathy to the Arango family. Bobby sold me shoes from the time i was in high school and more so when he opened his own shop on Main St. He always told folks i was his best customer. He not only sold to me but to my children as well. Never did I see Bobby that he wasn't smiling and happy. He would get out of his car to shake hands and hug us. Heaven just got another angel. God Bless you all
